This blog is gonna be the main page for my topic about Company of Heroes 1's authenticity, mistakes, and suggestions to fix and improve it. For the sake of historical accuracies in the possibly future remastered or REBOOTED version.
First of all, this game is one of my favorite WW2 RTS video games. Mainly because of not-so-complicated gameplay, amazing soundtracks, well-arranging maps and environments, interesting campaigns, and still fun and challenging to play in Multiplayer and Skirmishes mode 'til nowadays.
However, with my own personnel research and a lot of help from my friends, I regret to say that this videogame has a disappointingly GIGANTIC amount of historical inaccuracies. To be honest, I can only give its accuracy rate for only "30%" or lower than that. And many of the mistakes are completely unbearable and absurd, like the Relic (developers) have no historical consultants to help them or they just don't care at all.
Thus, the vast amount of mistakes in this game is the main reason why I decided to create this topic. Just for an educational case for those who REALLY INTERESTED in historical and realism content.
Also as a suggestion to make the future version of this game to be even better and gain more valuable aspects. However, I've to inform everyone that English is not my native language. So I must apologize if there is any mistake appear in these articles, but you can help me by sending a suggestion through a private message box on how to improve it. In addition, I can't make these articles without a great help of Halftrack He is one of the best COH modder who create one of the best COH mod called IMMERSION 1944.
And of course, I'm NOT A HATER. All these efforts are just to make the game and this franchise even more interesting and get more respect from both old and new fans.
